ok i just bought a pcut cutter from uscutter, i have acouple questions.
what kind of blades does it use? roland?
how easy is it to learn signblazer and the cutter?
will i need anything other than the cutter, software and vinyl?
thanks in advance
US Cutter's Refine series uses Roland Blades. I'm not sure about their other series (Copam or something like that).
I don't know about signblazer... never used it
You're good to go if you have the cutter, software, vinyl and a pc/laptop. Take your time when learning the cutter... don't just jump into your biggest project you had in mine. Start slow and get used to it first. Good luck!

the refine series does use roland so does the the capcom. so i am guessing the pcut does too.
Which cutter did you get??? I have a copam,,, it has a f2 blade holder which take roland ,,, they usually install a blade with the cutter and give you 4 extra,,,, also if you have trouble with your usb connection,,,, throw away the one that came with the machine ,,, go to the store and buy one,,,, install it and you will have no problems,,,, learned a lot of start up tricks.

i bought the pcut. yea i have been hering they have bad usb. i will probably buy one before it gets here.
thanks for the help.
your came with 4?
about how long will the last and whats the differance between the blade angles?
There are different angles on the blades for cutting different materials. There are 30, 45, and 60 degree blades. Thicker materials require steeper angles so the cutting edge of the blade covers the material thickness. Most often the 45 deg. works just fine. Some foils cut better with the 60 though.
As for how long they last , it depends on several things. Cutting chrome , I have gone through a blade in minutes ( I no longer offer chrome), or they have lasted for months (sometimes you just get lucky). Just make sure to always have a spare.
